Synopsis

Nat Banyon (Lucas Black) is a hitch-hiker whose dream is to open an ostrich farm in Wyoming. Early in the trip, he gets in a fight at a truck-stop bar and in the ruckus, takes his opponent's car keys, stealing his sports car. Continuing the journey, he finds a stranger (Peter Coyote) trapped in an overturned vehicle. He rescues him just as the car is completely destroyed by an incoming truck. Grateful for saving his life, the stranger, Herman Finch, hires Nat as the handyman for his motel. Nat soon learns that Finch runs a criminal network, acting in collusion with the police. Most of the locals are also in league with Finch. And everyone who irritates or opposes him soon turns up missing. They are then found dead.

Pipeline (comics)

Fictional character biography

As a member of the GenoshanPress Gang, Pipeline was exempt from the mutate process that his fellow mutants were subjected to, and served his country faithfully. He participates in the raid that captures four of the X-Men's charges. This takes places on the grounds of the X-Men mansion, in Salem Center, New York, a violation of American sovereignty. One of the prisoners, Warlock, did not survive subsequent imprisonment. He also participates in a second raid on US soil, attacking an airport in an attempt to get at Rene Majcomb.

After the fall of the Genoshan government, Pipeline fought in the resulting civil war on the side of the Magistrates. According to claims he made, he lost his home and family in this war.

Cable

During a raid on a mutate camp, he was captured by Cable and telepathically forced to help. He, Cable, Domino, Jenny Ransome and Phillip Moreau investigated clues to a new mutate facility, eventually discovering that the otherdimensional Sugar Man was behind the mutate process. He soon changed his loyalty, agreeing to work with the rebels to bring peace to Genosha.

Transformers (toy line)

The Transformers(トランスフォーマー,Toransufomā) is a line of toys produced by the Japanese company Takara (now known as Takara Tomy) and American toy company Hasbro. The Transformers toyline was created from toy molds mostly produced by Japanese company Takara in the toylines Diaclone and Microman. Other toy molds from other companies such as Bandai were used as well. In 1984, Hasbro bought the distribution rights to the molds and rebranded them as the Transformers for distribution in North America. Hasbro would go on to buy the entire toy line from Takara, giving them sole ownership of the Transformers toy-line, branding rights, and copyrights, while in exchange, Takara was given the rights to produce the toys and the rights to distribute them in the Japanese market. The premise behind the Transformers toyline is that an individual toy's parts can be shifted about to change it from a vehicle, a device, or an animal, to a robot action figure and back again. The taglines "More Than Meets The Eye" and "Robots In Disguise" reflect this ability.

Pipeline (instrumental)

The tune, originally called "Liberty's Whip", was renamed after the band members saw a surfing movie showing scenes of the Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii. The tune, fitting in with the popular surfing craze of the time, swiftly rose up the Billboard Pop charts, reaching #4, and becoming a classic hit of its time. The tune is notable for using Alberti bass arpeggios.

Although they had myriad surf tunes, "Pipeline" was the Chantays' only hit single, and is considered one of the landmarks of the surf genre. The track's distinctive sound was largely due to the mix being "upside down"; the bass guitar, electric piano and rhythm guitar were at the forefront, while the lead guitar and drums were buried. Although the 45-rpm was released only in monaural, the track was recorded in wide stereo, with the rhythm guitar hard left, the bass and drums hard right, and the electric piano and lead guitar centered. Modern reissues, beginning with the 1984 MCA Records 7" single, are stereophonic.

Installation art

Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that often are site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called public art, land art or intervention art; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap.

History

Installation art can be either temporary or permanent. Installation artworks have been constructed in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, as well as public and private spaces. The genre incorporates a broad range of everyday and natural materials, which are often chosen for their "evocative" qualities, as well as new media such as video, sound, performance, immersive virtual reality and the internet. Many installations are site-specific in that they are designed to exist only in the space for which they were created, appealing to qualities evident in a three-dimensional immersive medium. Artistic collectives such as the Exhibition Lab at New York's American Museum of Natural History created environments to showcase the natural world in as realistic a medium as possible. Likewise, Walt Disney Imagineering employed a similar philosophy when designing the multiple immersive spaces for Disneyland in 1955. Since its acceptance as a separate discipline, a number of institutions focusing on Installation art were created. These included the Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh, the Museum of Installation in London, and the Fairy Doors of Ann Arbor, MI, among others.

Halo (megastructure)

Halo rings are fictional megastructures and superweapons in the Halo video game series, giving its name. They are referred to as "Installations" by their AI monitors, and are collectively referred to as "the Array" by the installations' creators, the Forerunners. The series' alien antagonists, the Covenant, refer to the structures as the "Sacred Rings", believing them to form part of a greater religious prophecy known as "The Great Journey". According to Halo's fiction, the Forerunners built the rings to contain and study the Flood, an infectious alien parasite. The rings act together as a weapon of last resort; when fired, the rings kill any sentient life capable of falling prey to the Flood, starving the parasite of its food. The installations are at the crux of the plot progression for the Halo series.

The Halos are massive ringworlds, which feature their own wildlife and weather. The constructs resemble Larry Niven's Ringworld concept in shape and design. The structure that Halo: Combat Evolved takes place on was initially to be a hollowed-out planet, but was changed to its ring design later in development; a staff member provided "Halo" as the name for both the ring and the video game after names such as Red Shift were suggested.

Factions in Revelation Space

Interstellar factions

Spacefaring humanity is divided among these four main factions. While each of these factions has its roots in the Solar System, they have spread with humans to multiple other star systems. Demarchists controlled most major colony worlds, including Yellowstone, until the introduction of the Melding Plague. Conjoiners inhabited hollowed out asteroids on system peripheries, called Nests, before the move to the central Mother Nest in the Yellowstone system during the Conjoiner-Demarchist war. Ultras prefer living aboard the massive lighthugger ships, and are generally uncomfortable on terrestrial worlds. Skyjacks are comet and asteroid miners.

Overview on Deep Water Drilling

O-lay, a disruptive offshore pipeline installation innovation.

O-lay is a state-of-the-art disruptive method to install offshore pipeline in a safe way and with a minimum of costs. The method has following stages: Welding and construction onshore, pulling the pipe in the water supported by floatation devices, spiraling the pipe in a flat mono-layer spiral on the surface of the water while the steel remains in its elastic area (this is the "O" in O-lay) , transportation of the spiral towards the location where it has to be laid. Finally the pipe will be laid to the bottom with the help of a simple but specially for laying designed lay barge. The laying itself is done with a type of S-lay where the pipe will leave the barge at an end position or through the center of the barge which will give the barge a better stability and a better floating support.This means that the pipe can be laid deeper with a lighter barge.
When the spiral is made the method makes use of special bending method whereby at certain intervals "points of inflection" are applied. These points are actual end points of anchor lines in the outer circumference of the 'spiral to be made'. The method can also be used to retrieve pipe from the sea bottom. Instead of the anchor lines, the method makes use of small but powerful boats are then attached to the pipeline for creating the perfect circle. All boats will be attached to a dynamic positioning system that will "coordinate" the whole operation.
With this method pipes can be laid in very shallow water (some meters of depth whereby a special pontoon will be used) and very deep water (several thousands of meters with the aid of a lay barge)

Instead of the anchor lines, the method makes use of small but powerful boats are then attached to the pipeline for creating the perfect circle. All boats will be attached to a dynamic positioning system that will "coordinate" the whole operation.
With this method pipes can be laid in very shallow water (some meters of depth whereby a special pontoon will be used) and very deep water (several thousands of meters with the aid of a lay barge)

O-lay is a state-of-the-art disruptive method to install offshore pipeline in a safe way and with a minimum of costs. The method has following stages: Welding and construction onshore, pulling the pipe in the water supported by floatation devices, spiraling the pipe in a flat mono-layer spiral on the surface of the water while the steel remains in its elastic area (this is the "O" in O-lay) , transportation of the spiral towards the location where it has to be laid. Finally the pipe will be laid to the bottom with the help of a simple but specially for laying designed lay barge. The laying itself is done with a type of S-lay where the pipe will leave the barge at an end position or through the center of the barge which will give the barge a better stability and a better floating support.This means that the pipe can be laid deeper with a lighter barge.

O-lay deep water pipeline & PLET installation

This video shows the the O-lay technology and how a pipeline is installed in deep water.
With the O-lay method it is easier and cheaper to install pipeline in any water depth.
Due to the fact that almost all the work is prepared onshore (including welding and inspecting the pipe) the pipe can be installed at a speed of 25 km per day.
Welding quality is very high because most welds are produced with sub-merged arc welding (SAW) and the final joints are welded in the fire line with an automatic orbital welding system.
The pipeline is spiraled in the elastic area of the steel and then transported to the installation location. (see previous video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhyAQuUtzdg)
A PLET can be connected to the pipeline on board of the vessel and then sunk down its final position. (shown at 0m24s)
The pipeline can be installed with a "simple" lay barge that is specially designed for the installation of pipe. The pipe is then provided from the large spiral of pipe (shown from 1m50s)
feeding the pipeline through the lay barge over the mid stinger in the elastic area of the steel of the pipeline. Pipe is not being deformed like with the reel lay.
This method of spiralling a steel pipe for offshore installation is developed by Jan Buijvoets.

Synopsis

Nat Banyon (Lucas Black) is a hitch-hiker whose dream is to open an ostrich farm in Wyoming. Early in the trip, he gets in a fight at a truck-stop bar and in the ruckus, takes his opponent's car keys, stealing his sports car. Continuing the journey, he finds a stranger (Peter Coyote) trapped in an overturned vehicle. He rescues him just as the car is completely destroyed by an incoming truck. Grateful for saving his life, the stranger, Herman Finch, hires Nat as the handyman for his motel. Nat soon learns that Finch runs a criminal network, acting in collusion with the police. Most of the locals are also in league with Finch. And everyone who irritates or opposes him soon turns up missing. They are then found dead.
